No, gentlemen also guard against

Chapter 95 The Lion Opens His Mouth (Kneeling for tickets!)
The apology is over.

The banquet continued.

It's just that besides the dejected Liu Zilin beside the dining table, there is another figure of a kneeling Hu Ji.

Both of them knelt down to the two guests who came today.

And the young county magistrate finally moved his chopsticks and dipped the vegetables.

After drinking the apology wine, the Young Patriarch of the Liu Clan sighed with sincerity:

"Master County Magistrate, in fact, looking back carefully, apart from some unpleasant incidents caused by my younger brother, the Liu family should have nothing to offend you. In fact, there is no need for us to be so stiff. Our Liu family is also a citizen of Longcheng County."

Ouyang Rong was noncommittal.

Don't look at how calm he has been all the time from now until now. In fact, his right forearm still hurts a little bit. It was pinched by his junior sister just now, but of course he can't show it right now.

Xie Lingjiang said coldly: "You didn't offend senior brother? What about the burnt account in the east warehouse?"

Liu Ziwen pretended to be puzzled: "What burnt the tent? Didn't you hear that the East Warehouse accidentally caught fire?"

Xie Lingjiang nodded: "Accidentally, it happened that only your Liu family's account book was taken away, right, this fire is really picky."

Liu Ziwen pretended to be stupid while drinking, and didn't reply.

Xie Lingjiang seemed to see something wrong with his senior brother's arm, and silently picked up a chopstick dish for him.

Ouyang Rong put down his chopsticks and said directly:
"Master Liu, don't be meandering around. Treating me to dinner today is definitely not just an apology, so boring. What's the purpose, let's just talk about it."

Liu Ziwen swallowed the polite words, and immediately said:
"Then Liu didn't hide it either... Our Liu family also wants to take a stake in Zheyiqu Construction, which is presided over by your lord."

Ouyang Rong chuckled and said:

"The Liu family is already so rich. Now the west bank of Butterfly Creek is full of sword stoves from your Liu family's sword shop, Penglangdu Wharf, and a large commercial street that belongs to your Liu family. Isn't that enough?"

Liu Ziwen leaned forward and said seriously:
"No one thinks too much money, and the Liu family is no exception. The Liu family has been able to get to the present, relying on the ancestral motto of being prepared for danger in times of peace and planning in advance. When the Zhayi Canal is completed, the most golden location in Longcheng County will not be Peng. Langdu is on both sides of the current Butterfly Creek.

"My lord is the parent official of all the people in Longcheng, and the Liu family is also a good citizen of Longcheng County. My lord leads the people of Longcheng County to dig canals to get rich. It would be inappropriate if anyone is missing.

"Our Liu family also wants to join Zheyiqu, and hope that your lord will not hesitate to point out a suitable way."

Ouyang Rong looked at his sincere face for a while, as if he was looking at something, after a while, he smiled:
"Since they are all the people of Longcheng County, there are not no bright roads. All roads lead to Chang'an. What kind of bright road the Liu family wants depends on how much Master Liu is willing to pay for the road."

Liu Ziwen nodded, leaned back on the back of the chair, took a sip of wine, and pondered:

"The Liu family is willing to send out a group of the most elite craftsmen to help the county government build the Di Gong Gate."

A string in Ouyang Rong's heart that had been tensed for a long time loosened, but hesitant expression appeared on his face: "What kind of practice?"

Liu Ziwen said familiarly: "Naturally, the county government is the leader in raising funds for 'repairing gates'. My Liu family took the lead in raising donations, and the money collected..."

Ouyang Rong interrupted directly: "How about leaving the [-]% to [-]%?"

Liu Ziwen glanced at his face, shook his head:
"Seven points can be given to the county government. Our Liu family only needs the remaining [-]% as compensation for the gate repair craftsmen. This won't cost the county government and your lord a penny, but your lord can..."

Ouyang Rong interrupted rudely again: "That's not acceptable. What kind of bullshit is collecting donations, the Longcheng county government will no longer search for the people's fat and blood."

Liu Ziwen frowned: "Where does the money for repairing the gate come from?"

Ouyang Rong looked at him curiously: "Could it be that Brother Ling didn't tell you when he went back?"

Liu Ziwen was taken aback: "What did you say?"

It's your Liu family who came here to kneel and beg for food.

Ouyang Rong thought about it, but didn't say anything to slap him in the face.

At that time, he said this sentence to Liu Zian through Liu Lang's mouth. Liu Zian felt useless, so it was normal for him not to go back and say it.

However, someone who takes good care of other people's emotions still warmly reminded:
"This time, the county government will not issue a single copper coin for the construction of the Digong Gate."

Liu Ziwen's tone was puzzled: "Then how can we fix it, don't collect donations, and the county government doesn't pay..."

Under the expectant eyes of his parents, the Young Patriarch of the Liu Clan suddenly stopped talking, and his facial expression gradually became stiff.

Ouyang Rong nodded: "That's right, I have to trouble Mr. Liu to build it with his own money."

Xie Ling, who was on the side, frowned and said:

"Senior brother, the Liu family pays for the craftsmen and materials, but we have to put in some effort. After all, if the county government builds it in name, this is also your performance, isn't it?"

"What the junior sister said is very true."

Ouyang Rong nodded, with an embarrassed expression on his face, he suggested:

"Then the county government will provide a group of young and strong refugees to repair the gate, but Mr. Liu remember to pay their wages on time."

"..."

Liu Ziwen suddenly understood why his second brother was so excited when he went home to report in the afternoon.

He licked his dry lips, and finally drank the wine in the glass, wiped his mouth and said:

"My lord, the construction of the Digong Gate is beneficial to the entire Longcheng County. Is it too...unkind to let our Liu family take over all of it? How could the Liu family receive such a big blessing."

Ouyang Rong nodded in agreement:
"You really can't accept this blessing, so in name, our Longcheng county government is repairing it, and we will carry the blessing. At that time, I will send some county government officials to preside over it with the refugee Qing Zhuang. Your Liu family's People remember to cooperate."

"?"

Liu Ziwen looked at the brazen guy opposite him speechlessly, and couldn't help but feel the flames in his heart.

Empty glove white wolf, and take advantage of all the benefits, right? !

The Liu family has repaired the Digong gate so many times, although the main reason is that they also need to control the water level of the Butterfly Creek to facilitate certain things, but they have never been the dominant force in cooperating with the county government, and they have never been so useless!They don't even have an equal status. What if they are begging on their knees?

Ouyang Rong looked at Liu Ziwen's deep expression, suddenly smiled and asked:

"Does your Liu family want me to show you the way?"

Liu Ziwen gritted his teeth fiercely:
"Okay, just follow your lord's orders."

Ouyang Rong nodded in satisfaction.

What the second brother said is right, you have to hold back and put the overall situation first... Liu Ziwen took a deep breath in his heart.

He straightened his mind, and was about to mention his most important matter about the Broken Wing Canal. At this moment, Xie Lingjiang suddenly said:
"Wait, brother and I have a small condition."

Ouyang Rong looked around and didn't stop him.

Liu Ziwen frowned, then relaxed: "What's the matter, Miss Xie, please tell me. I hope...it's really a small condition."

The Young Patriarch of the Liu Clan obviously put a little emphasis on the word "small".

Xie Ling Jiang waved his little hand: "Your Liu family's porridge shed and Yuyingtang are all closed from now on, and they are not allowed to open again."

Liu Ziwen turned his head silently and stared at her for a long time, even longer than when he hesitated just now when he was prostituted by Di Gongzha.

"Why?" He suddenly asked: "Look at Liu, they shouldn't bother the county magistrate and miss Xie now, right?"

Xie Lingjiang raised his chin lightly: "It's in the way, it's in the way."

Ouyang Rong caught a glimpse of the blue veins on Liu Ziwen's forehead twitching visible to the naked eye.

Xie Lingjiang sat upright, staring at the opposite side.

Liu Ziwen squinted his eyes and looked at her.

The atmosphere was silent for a while.

Seeing the Young Patriarch of the Liu family who had not said a word for a long time, a certain young county magistrate was a little surprised, mainly because he did not expect that the negotiations would get stuck on this trivial matter.

Because the porridge shed and Yuyingtang, which are still open in the west of the city, are indeed no different from closing down now.

However, of course he was helping the junior sister.

The young county magistrate raised his right sleeve, looked down at the red handprint on his forearm, and said softly:

"Shut it up, Mr. Liu, don't deceive yourself and others. Everyone knows what kind of business it is. The thousand-year-old fox sings about Liaozhai."

Liu Ziwen didn't ask what Liaozhai was, he was silent for a while, then he raised his head and drank a glass of wine, breathing out a long breath:
"The Yogyakarta can be closed, but the porridge shed is not. It was set up by my father, and it is commemorative. Miss Xie, how about we take a step back?"

Xie Lingjiang stubbornly shook his head.

Liu Ziwen's cheeks trembled.

Ouyang Rong raised his head and said:

"I have heard about the matter of the old man of the Liu family. If the version I heard is correct, then I really regret the matter of the old man of the Liu family."

Liu Ziwen shook his head, as if he didn't want to mention these old things anymore, or rather, he didn't want to listen to them at all.

He just said: "Master County Magistrate, Miss Xie, taking advantage of today's drinking, how about Liu telling you a little story?"

"Oh?" The young magistrate Qi asked, "What story?"

Liu Ziwen squinted his eyes: "Liu has read in a certain book... the story of 'Come and go'."

Ouyang Rong raised his eyebrows.

　According to the Easter Egg Chapter, he did what he said... I tried my best, brothers, I really can only reach this level QWQ... Finally, the new March, please ask for a wave of votes!Woooooooooo... (hugs thigh)
